Indigenous Medicine (IM) in HIV/AIDS Programs World Health Organization (1990) National MoH NGOs UNAIDS C.M. Good

IM in the Response to HIV/AIDS IM PREVENTION -Education -Condom distribution TREATMENT -Herbal remedies -Patient referral -Drug management MITIGATION -Counseling -Stigma reduction

The Tanga AIDS Working Group (TAWG)

TAWG: Health Impact Improves quality of life, prolongs life -Oral thrush+ Appetite -Herpes zoster+ Body weight -Diarrhea -Fever Effective, particularly if treatment given in the early stages Some expressed preference over biomedicines (reduced side effects)

Conclusion IM is necessary in HIV/AIDS treatment and care in SSA Demand for certain medicinal plants used in treating HIV/AIDS exceeds ecological regeneration capacities Medicinal plant scarcity leads to + price and – quality of healthcare Sustainability of HIV/AIDS treatment is dependent on NRMC

Recommendations Identify efficacious species used locally in treating HIV/AIDS-related conditions Measure and monitor indicators of scarcity Assess opportunities and constraints in the cultivation and management of vulnerable species

Recommendations Integrate medicinal plant conservation and management into collaborative HIV/AIDS programs
